About (old)

Create Lab works with educators from Oxford, Singapore University of Technology and Design (a collaboration with MIT), Singapore Management University, IMDA Labs and NUS Enterprise to inspire children to become creators with technology and prepare them to become 21st Century Leaders. Our popular coding, robotics and design workshops have been recognised by parents as amongst the leading Coding and Computational Thinking enrichment programs in Singapore. We have been awarded Singapore Best Coding and Future Skills School by Parents World magazine and have been selected as one of Singapore’s top 10 Most Exciting Start-Ups by CLSA (one of Asia’s largest Investment Banks).

Our Values

We are 100% student focused.

Our low student-to-teacher ratio ensures personalised learning across all our programs. This is coupled with state-of-the-art technologies and learning tools that enable a learning experience that is both engaging and fun.

We are always ready for change

We appreciate technology is fast changing with new tools, methods and processes being introduced all the time. Our Academic Advisory Board – who have over 80-years of experience from the world’s top universities – along with our team of instructors keep pace with these developments and ensure our programs are fresh, relevant and create a long-term learning impact.

We are rigorous

While our programs are designed to be self-paced and ‘student directed’ in terms of learning, clearly defined learning objectives, outcomes and deliverables ensure that students are self-sustaining when they leave our programs, giving them the confidence to continue to create on their own without the support of our facilitators.

We are a partnership

Learning is a partnership between the educators and parents. We keep an open and continuous dialog with parents on the learning progress and challenges of their children. Our programs are designed so that children will have multiple opportunities to share and reflect on their creations and projects with their parents.

We are fun

When children take ownership of their learning they become passionate and motivated; not only in school, but also for the rest of their lives. Our programs are developed with the latest teaching tools and employ gamified learning to make the learning process fun and engaging for students. Our biggest problem? Finishing our classes on time as students typically insist on staying back for more!
